The law firm of Deji Adeyanju and Partners has announced its withdrawal from representing Stephen Abuwatseya, a Bolt driver who was allegedly assaulted by House of Representatives member Hon. Alex Ikwechegh. The withdrawal follows a recent video in which Abuwatseya was seen apologizing to Ikwechegh, sparking significant online reactions.
Social media influencer Verydarkman also reacted to the video, raising questions about the sincerity of the apology and the circumstances surrounding it. The case initially drew public attention due to allegations of abuse of power, with Adeyanju’s firm initially taking up Abuwatseya’s defense.
The reasons for the withdrawal remain unclear, though Adeyanju’s firm stated they were stepping back from the case. The situation has fueled discussions on social media, with many questioning the integrity of the legal process and the potential influence of political power.
